Summer in the city, and in the countryside

ummer creeps up on us slowly here in Estonia, so slowly in fact, that we’re never quite sure when the last day of snow will be. But there are other signs of summer, terraces opening and filling Town Hall Square, the Old Town filled with visitors and tour groups, longer days and shorter nights, and of course the annual Baltic Guide Summer Travel Special. We cover a lot of news and events about Tallinn, but there’s so much to see and do outside of Estonia’s capital. There are loads of great restaurants throughout the countryside, which we tell you about in this issue. Summer is a time for events and we’ve got two pages

of events listings to help you plan your trip. The summer travel special covers all of Estonia, from east to west and north to south. We cover all of the must-see sights so you can plan a road trip. The good thing about Estonia’s size is that you don’t need many days to see it all. In fact, you can drive across the country in a day. You’ll find the Summer Travel Special in the middle of this paper. From culture to food to music to art, there is something for everyone!

Happy travels!

Traditional Estonian food with a five star twist fine dining TEXT SILJA HURSKAINEN, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

Swissotel, one of Tallinn’s finest hotels, has opened a new restau-

rant called The Quarter on the eighth floor. The restaurant’s manager, Meiken Peest describes the food at The Quarter as being like traditional Estonian food, but with a five star twist. Don’t expect things like sauerkraut, but the food is influenced by such flavours. The restaurant serves local food, both in ingredients and recipes, as well as in the decor of the room. The clean EstonianScandinavian style has distinct

lines that appear in the dining hall, as well as on the plate. As an appetiser, enjoy the pea soup. It’s a good example of how traditional food can be served in a modern way. The frothy soup, served with crunchy bacon bits was an excellent start to the meal. The beetroot risotto followed as a main. The risotto was rich and creamy. The beetroot flavour was not too overpowering, butt complemented the rice. After the green and red dishes, a yellow dessert followed -mango o sorbet. The rhubarb jam added a burst of freshness. The Quarter is open dailyy for lunch from 12.00-16-00. Peesti says that the lunch menu u is inspired by the main menu,

though portions are slightly smaller. Sunday brunch has become quite popular. The Quarter offers a rich buffet and there is even something for children. Bookings are recommended. ■

The sweet and the sour RØST brings sourdough to Tallinn.

café TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

There is nothing like a spongy slice

of freshly baked sourdough bread, and at long last we can get it in Tallinn. You won’t find any black bread at RØST. Located in the quickly developing Rotermanni

Quarter, RØST is great for a quick coffee or a little bit more. As you walk in, the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries fills the air. The space is openplan, so you can see the bakers busy forming loaves and carrying freshly baked pastries to the front counter. The espresso machine never stops. The coffee beans are sourced from the best micro roasters in Tallinn and elsewhere.

It’s not just bread and pastries at RØST. There are daily sandwiches, one vegetarian and one not. A short all-day breakfast menu is also displayed behind the front counter, for something a little more filling. You can also buy a loaf to take home. ■

taurants are popping up all over town. Here’s a few to go and check out this month. Located in Pirita, Buongiorno (Merivälja tee 24, Tallinn) serves up tasty Italian dishes at a very reasonable price. We quite liked the carpaccio and the pizzas had a crispy thin crust. On the other side of town in the business district of Ülemiste City, Juur (Valukoja 10, Tallinn) is the first restaurant from the team behind

favourite café Gourmet Coffee. The elegant dining room is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves beautifully plated dishes with creative combinations. Over in Nõmme, Paju Villa (Vabaduse puiestee 88, Tallinn), a restored mansion, will be opening as a café and restaurant. While we can’t tell you much more than that at the moment, it promises to open in spring 2017. Those heading down to Viljandi can enjoy the new café Täi-

skuu (Tallinna mnt 22, Viljandi). The

café serves simple and fresh dishes generously. Back in Tallinn, beer lovers will be happy to learn that there are two brew pubs opening. The popular Scottish brewer Brewdog (Rotermanni 2, Tallinn a3) will be opening its first location in Tallinn in the Rotermanni Quarter. In the same area, the Estonian brewer Saku will be opening Saku Gastropub (Rotermanni 14, Tallinn a3). ■

interview

Eliq Maranik: Smoothie Queen’s Health Kick TEXT STUART GARLICK, PHOTOS KRÕÕT TARKMEEL

Eliq Maranik, the Estonian-born author of

more than twenty books, mostly devoted to her favourite smoothies and other healthy recipes, didn’t always think she’d be writing for a living. “I never chose that, it chose me I suppose! I wanted to be a singer - I’ve thought I would be on a stage since I was three years old. I think I’m more of a teacher. I’m still taking my singing lessons, though.” Maranik, now 36, began publishing her recipes when colleagues at a publishing company in Sweden, where she worked as a designer, remarked how much they enjoyed her lunchtime drinks, encouraging her to show them how she made them. It might have come as a surprise to her initially, but Maranik is now a woman in demand, with her books published in sixteen languages and counting, including English, Finnish, Estonian and Swedish. The most recent release, Winter Smoothies, will be followed by Vegan Smoothies, available now in Finnish and English, and due to be released in Estonian in May as Healthy Smoothies, the name it carries in Finland and Sweden. Later in the year, fans will also be able to read Probiotic Smoothies, Maranik’s guide to how to harness the power of friendly bacteria for a healthy lifestyle. The author was keen not to be seen as a didact, preferring to let people live as they wish, and simply describing what works for her in her life. One of the things that makes her so happy is living peacefully with her three year-old daughter in her current home, Malaga. “I’ve been coming to Malaga for ten years more or less; I made friends here, and then I decided to have a baby, and I decided I wanted to do something in my career that meant I wasn’t dependent on anybody or anything. I used to have loads of employees, but now I can take care of my soul and my spirit, and writing is perfect for that.” “I have loads of time for training, which is a big part of my life. I can’t imagine my life without training. My friends say I’m not healthy, because I sometimes go to the gym for two, three or four hours. There’s yoga too - my daughter loves it, we put on some calming meditation music and we can be there for hours. If you do yoga, you just don’t eat bad food. It comes naturally. My body says, ‘no, Eliq, because you’ll have a headache later on!’ If I have one glass of champagne, I know I’ll have a huge hangover - I’m a cheap date! I’m a vegetarian because of my health - I realised if I ate non-vegetarian food, I got huge headaches.” “It’s up to everybody to have their own lifestyle,” Maranik continued, “I like my own lifestyle - it doesn’t necessarily mean people can do three or four hours’ training a day, but that’s my life. I also like to read, but

that’s work, because I have to read, as a writer. I don’t really read news at all, though.” It might seem from the outside like the self-styled ‘Smoothie Queen’ lives a life free of sinful indulgences, but some are allowed. Maranik trains hard so she can enjoy the occasional pastry treat later. “I’ve been a croissanteater since I first went to Paris, and I know I can’t go near fresh croissants because I’ll want to take ten of them, so I know there are some addictions in my life that I need to work on. If I go to Paris, I’m going to let myself eat those ten fresh croissants. I can give this love to my body and my soul, because it’s nurturing myself in some way.” Chocolate is also on the menu from time-totime. “I haven’t bought presents for the past ten years, so one Christmas I was making chocolate pralines, with natural ingredients, but of course containing sugar. I’m an artist - I like to do things with my hands - and I realised, ‘I’m actually quite good at this!’ I decided to write a chocolate book for that reason.” “I made a whole chocolate book, how to make rubbish-free pralines, cakes and so on, with natural ingredients, because, simply put, most of the bought stuff was full of palm oil, E-numbers, and artificial ingredients. It still wasn’t a healthy book, though.” Although Maranik once worked on an Estonian television show in which obese members of the public were given diet plans and their results measured, the cook said it was always better to lose weight in a controlled way, over a lengthy period of time. “Fast weight loss is not the healthy way - it’s better to change your lifestyle in the long run. There was one guy, in one week, he lost eight kilos, but that’s not healthy, you lose too much energy. Generally, if you follow a healthy lifestyle, the body weight is going to work things out for itself. There are eaters out there, some people love chocolate, for example, and so for them, they can say if they want to have a piece of chocolate, they have to run for thirty minutes.” Maranik was happy to exchange opinions on the many diet options that had sprung up in recent years. Regarding the paleo diet, where all food is at the lowest possible level of manufacture, she said “it’s never going to last forever.” However, the key, she added, was for people to make their own choice. With many cooks and authors also taking advantage of social media and vlogging to reach new followers, Maranik confirmed this was something she was considering. For any young person who wanted to follow in her footsteps, she had some useful tips. “We all have the power within ourselves, we just need to believe in ourselves. Today it’s all about social media, and letting the true ‘you’ shine through. Believe in your own special powers, because we all have them, and don’t give a shit what people think of you!” ■

Tallinn’s Old Town does not want to be a

museum exhibition. The annual Tallinn Old Town Days (OTD) take place from the end of May to the beginning of June and fills the medieval centre with interesting events and lively concerts. OTD offer visitors a colourful programme, which includes dance performances, big and small concerts, a youth discussion forum, gymnastics, circus performances, a student’s market, a vinyl market and a tour through the Old Town

to different places that you normally wouldn’t get into. Due to the fact that this year is The Estonian Year for Youth and Children, the theme of the OTD is Young Old Town. The programme coordinator Anne Velt tells us that many of the events are free, but this year they have added paid concerts for the first time. Velt recommends that the most interesting way to enjoy the OTD programme is to take the booklet in hand and just wander through the Old Town. There is something happening all the time.

“The Town Hall Square is the heart of the event where the most interesting performances are taking place in every corner”, hints Velt. Find out more information at vanalinnapaevad.ee and from the Old Town tourist information on Niguliste Street. ■

Viru Hotel turns 45! Viru Hotel is a part of recent Estonian history and has never looked better. TEXT JUKKA ARPONEN, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV AND VIRU

Viru Hotel will celebrate its 45th anniversary

in many ways this year. In celebration, they have brewed their own craft beer and made different baked goods which you can enjoy in the hotel lobby, café, and restaurant. Their beer Peoõlu XLV is made in the Õllenaudi brewery according to Viru Hotel staff tastes, which is also a good thirst-quencher. The cookies are made by head chef Margus Tampere and represent some of Viru Hotel’s most famous female guests, like Elizabeth Taylor, female astronaut Valentina Cherkasova, and writer Sofi Oksanen. The hotel restaurant celebrates with cabaret in

autumn and live music, which you can enjoy in Amigo nightclub or in summer on Amarillo terrace every other Thursday. Estonian musicians Tanel Padar and Smilers are among many Estonian talents that will take to the stage this summer. the majority of Western visitors to Tallinn checked into the Viru Hotel, where some famous tourists like Liz Taylor and Neil Armstrong stayed. The hotel’s side

business was the secret listening that was going on throughout the hotel. You can visit the recording room on the top floor, which hasn’t been changed. When the KGB left the hotel in 1991, the secret radio room was found on the 23rd floor and microphones were found in the saunas. There is an interesting museum in the radio room, where you can learn how telephones in the hotel rooms were tapped and microphones were hidden in ashtrays on the tables in the restaurant.

The first renovation to the hotel was done

after Estonia regained its independence, when the state sold the hotel to the Finnish SRV Group. In 2003, the hotel changed names to Sokos Hotel Viru. Over the last three years, Sokos Hotels has invested 2.6 million euros and will invest more. Over the years, the conference centre and restaurant at the Viru Hotel has served about half a million clients. ■

here are endless great times to be found in Tallinn, but if I said that it was possible to find a legendary night out on just one side of one street, would you believe me? When planning an evening, you’ve got to think about location, because particularly with the changeable weather you get in the Estonian capital, you don’t want to be dressed up to the nines and walking through strong wind and rain. Sauna street is slapbang in the middle of the Old Town, close to accommodation like the Telegraaf, St, Petersburg and My City Hotels. Let’s look at what you can expect from this narrow street on a hill.

Frank Underground feels like a secret hiding-place for all your favourite people, while keeping the Hemingway-in-Paris colour scheme and ambiance of the original establishment.

Sigmund Freud (Sauna 8, Tallinn Old Town i2) was an odd name for a bar, but step inside there and you’ll feel at peace, and able to mull over an interesting evening. Sigmund Freud specialises in cocktails, and has a sizeable menu of choices for you and your

companions, but there’s also a house red ale that is satisfyingly cloudy and enjoyably mellow. There is a feel of a 1960s bar from the set of a movie like Catch Me if You Can, and with bright, friendly bar-staff, the atmosphere is completely welcoming.

Go to BART Piano bar for the cocktails, stay for the Barry Manilow medley.

Some friends and I were sitting at the bar in BART Piano-

bar (Sauna 10, Tallinn Old Town i2) when the live show started. A man (presumably Italian) started singing Abba’s “Gimme Gimme Gimme” in a broad accent, complete with electronic keyboard flourishes that will remind UK readers of a scene from Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights. I asked my friend if it was meant to be taken in an ironic way. The people dancing to the music seemed to be enjoying it unapologetically, and why not? There’s room even for cheesy cabaret, especially in this world where fun and laughs can sometimes be so few and far between. Go there for the cocktails, stay for the Barry Manilow medley. Next to the craziness of fiveshot orders at Santa Fe, or Italodisco at BART, Frank (Sauna 2, Tallinn Old Town i2) can seem a bit conventional - but that’s no bad thing. The red-and-blackadorned bar and restaurant has been open for a few years now,

and has a loyal clientele who appreciate the good food and reasonable selection of Estonian and international craft beer, alongside a wine selection that cannot be sniffed-at. The so-called “Lower Frank” is the original bar, open most nights fairly late, but for additional entertainment, or just for a later nightcap, step across to Frank Underground, the new section, which feels like a secret hidingplace for all your favourite people, while keeping the Hemingway-inParis colour scheme and ambiance of the original establishment. Whether here or in any of the other bars mentioned, you’ll have a great time, and all on one side of a narrow street. ■

Top 5 Western Estonia's Islands

Western Estonia's islands have a long history. TEXT TIMO HUTTUNEN, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

The history of Estonia’s islands goes back

about 8000 years. You will find prehistoric pergolas, sacred stones, and groves. In 1227, Saaremaa was conquered by the Germans, who built stone churches, some of which can still be seen today. During the German occupation, many manor houses were built, many of which are open to visitors now. On Muhu you will find Pädaste Manor and its restaurant Alexander, which has been chosen as Estonia’s top restaurant many years in a row. The atmosphere on the islands is special.

Houses with thatched roofs, stone walls, and windmills resemble the past. Saaremaa’s capital is Kuressaare, which is like a small medieval town. You will also find many hotels, farmstays, and beautiful beaches on the islands. Nature on the islands is multifaceted, due to the soft climate. For example, Sõrve Cape is a bird watcher’s paradise. There are over 200 protected areas on the islands with many protected plants and species as well. Stunning orchids grow on Saaremaa. Peaceful Hiiumaa is a favourite among hik-

ers. There are many interesting events taking place on the island, like Sõru Jazz in June and Hiiu Folk in July. Muhu, Saaremaa, and Hiiumaa can be access by car, bike, walking, or by boat. You can find more information about the ports here: www.sadamaregister.ee ■

Western Estonia’s largest islands and towns: ■ Saaremaa: approximate area 2670 km2, estimated population 40,000. ■ Hiiumaa: approximate area 1 000 km2, estimated population 10,000. ■ Muhu: approximate area 200 km2, estimated population 2000. ■ Vormsi: approximate area 93 km2, estimated population 400. ■ Kihnu: approximate area 17 km2, estimated population 500. ■ Ruhnu: approximate area 11 km2, estimated population 70. ■ Kuressaare estimated population 13,300 ■ Kärdla estimated population 3100

01 SAAREMAA ATTRACTIONS Saaremaa’s most important attractions are the medieval bishop’s castle in Kuressaare, the Kaali crater, and windmills in Angla. There is a fascinating museum in the castle.

02 SUMMER IN KURESSAARE There are many interesting events taking place in Kuressaare, like the Street Festival from 26-28 May, Saaremaa Opera Days 14-22 July, and Kuressaare Maritime Days 10-12 August.

250 km and that’s about as far as you can drive in Estonia. Southern Estonia’s largest town is Võru, which takes about three hours to get to by car. Fr. R. Kreutzwald, the author of the famous Estonian legend Kalevipoeg lived in Võru and now his house has been made into a museum. You can learn about FinnoUgric history in the Vana-Võrumaa Cultural Centre. Võrumaa smoke sauna culture has been added to the Unesco Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. You can try this type of sauna in many places. The only hotel in Valga is the Metsis, which together with its restaurant is decorated with a hunting theme. Among the restaurants in town, there is Lilli, situated in a 1930s house that has a 60-seat terrace in summer. Valka sits on the other side of the border in Latvia. It’s quite easy to drive across the border without noticing, so a GPS can be helpful. ■

Top 5 Tartu

Tartu is the second largest town in Estonia and is best known for being the student capital. TEXT KRISTINA LUPP, PHOTOS ANDREI CHERTKOV

The University of Tartu was established in

1632 by the Swedish king and ever since has been a place where the brightest minds, both local and international gather. The most famous meeting spot for locals is the statue of Kissing Students, in front of Tartu Town Hall, a great place to start your tour of the city. Right next to the Town Hall Square is Rüütli Street, with souvenir shops and an array of cafés and restaurants. In the evenings, this is where you’ll find the nightlife. Enjoy a glass of wine in places like Vein ja Vine (Rüütli 8) or Säde (Rüütli 4).

The best view of the city can be found on the top of Toomemägi Hill from one of the towers of the Tartu Cathedral, which also houses the University of Tartu museum. Although most of the historical attractions are located in the Old Town, it is worth exploring the neighbourhoods situated a bit further from the centre. Tartu’s main attraction became the Estonian National Museum (Muuseumi 2) when it opened its doors in October 2016. Located a few kilometres from the city centre, the museum introduces Estonia, its culture, as well as Finno-Ugric culture. If you only make it to one place in Tartu, then this new museum should be it. The Ahhaa Science Centre (Sadama 1), located in the city centre, is already well-known to many visitors, though the exhibitions are always changing. For those travelling with children, Ahhaa is a great place to visit for both young and old. The Estonian Museum of Agriculture (Pargi 4)is located in the neighbouring town of

Ülenurme where you will some more great exhibitions. Located inside the Ülenurme Manor buildings, the museum offers a glimpse at the manor grounds in their heyday. The 15 museum buildings have different displays about agriculture and its machinery.

linn (Soup town), which earned its name from the streets being named after vegetables and fruit or to Karlova, located on the other side of the centre. This neighbourhood should also be on the map for coffee lovers as it is the home of Karlova Kohv (Tähe 63), which is a roastery and a café. On the same street you can also find the prettiest cupcakes in town in Tassikoogid (Tähe 21) and Barlova (Tähe 29) – a bar in Karlova and the Italian home you didn’t know you had. If however you want to see a part of the industrial Soviet heritage, take a walk up Riia Street to Aparaaditehas (Kastani 42), an old factory complex now a home for local creatives, hosts events and trendy restaurants. ■

The heart of Tartu can be found at the Town Hall Square. The Kissing Students fountain sits in front of the Town Hall. In summer, cafés open terraces and in winter the square is filled with trees. Enjoy many events taking place here throughout the year as well.

03 MAIN BUILDING OF THE UNIVERSITY Built at the beginning of the 1800s, the Tartu University Main Building is one of the city’s most important landmarks. Take a step inside and familiarise yourself with the museum or visit the attic where you’ll find the cell where misbehaving students were sent.

04 BOTANICAL GARDENS Walking through the gates of the Botanical Gardens takes you to a whole new world. Take some sandwiches along, find a bench to sit on, and enjoy the peonies in early summer or the autumn colours. Stroll the meandering paths or enjoy the serenity while being in the centre of the city.

05 THE WOODEN HOUSES OF SUPILINN AND KARLOVA Walking among the wooden houses in Supilinn and Karlova, you get the feeling you’ve stepped back in time, with the smell of wood fire coming from the chimneys. The Bohemian area of Supilinn is closest to the city centre and is known for the funny names of the streets like Herne (pea), Kartuli (potato), and Oa (bean). It’s also worth a visit to Karlova where you can see the Aparaaditehas and many great cafés.

transport ESTONIA AT-A-GLANCE Area: 45,227 km2. Population: approximately 1,350,000 Capital: Tallinn, population approximately 400,000. Other cities: Tartu 98,522, Narva 64,057, Pärnu 42,433 Ethnicity: Estonians 68%, Russians 24.8%, Other 6.5% Language: The official language is Estonian, which belongs to the Finno-Ugric group of languages (Finnish, Hungarian). Russian is the mother tongue of more than 300,000 inhabitants. English is widely spoken throughout the country. Religion: Approximately 20% of Estonians are nonreligious, others Lutheran, Orthodox, Catholic.

Getting to Tallinn just got a lot easier, and more comfortable 2017 has brought direct flights and upgraded cruise ships for getting to and from Estonia’s capital.

The name Tallinn originates from the Danish occupation (1219–). 1285 Tallinn joins the Hanseatic League. 1346 The Danish sell Tallinn to the German Order. Toompea was divided among princes and bourgeoisie in the upper-town and craftsmen in the lower-town. 1561 Tallinn goes to the Swedish. 1721 The Russians conquer Estonia and Tallinn.

1939–44 Russians and Germans occupy Tallinn. 1944 The Soviet Army bombs Tallinn in March and causes extensive damage. 1400 people are killed.

Perhaps the biggest news of the

year was that the British Airways began regular traffic between Tallinn Airport and London Heathrow. During summer, flights will run twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Currently, there are non-stop flights from Tallinn to 26 cities with carriers like AirBaltic, SAS, LOT, Turkish among others. Tallink’s newest vessel Megastar, running the Helsinki-Tallinn route is packed with innovations. To start, it’s powered by LNG. But what the traveller will notice is that it’s quieter. The engines seem to run quieter, passenger areas are cosier, and even the bathrooms are more peaceful. For one, you no longer need ear protection when using the hand dryers. The crew on the vessel sport sharp new uniforms too. There are over 300 seats in the sitting lounge, each with its own charging station. Business passengers can enjoy food and drink in the Business Lounge and the less expensive Comfort Lounge offers quieter travel with coffee and small snacks. The Viking Line FSTR or Viking Faster will run from April to October between Tallinn and Helsinki. The catamaran will make the journey in one hour and 45 minutes and will have
